Chapter 081: The township exam is in progress...
After entering the toilet, the yamen runner stared at Qin Guan so hard, his eyes still glancing at Qin Guan, which made Qin Guan very uncomfortable.
"Brother Yamashi, it's hard for me to pull it out if you stare at me like this." Qin Guan frowned.
The yamen runner smiled disdainfully: "If you can't pull it out, you won't feel so nervous. Just like some people say, if you are in a bad mood and don't want to eat, you will say that you won't be hungry. If you catch up with the famine and starve him for three days, I guess he can stuff his mouth with a mouthful of shit."
"What are you talking about? You scholars."
After hearing this, Qin Guan felt that it made sense, but he was speechless.
The responsibilities of these yamen runners are: If someone really cheats, they will be punished very severely, so even if they go to the toilet, they will stare at each other with a wide eyelid and will never give you any chance.
Just look at it. It’s not that people have never seen it. What’s so embarrassing? As long as you don’t think it smells bad, you can do whatever you want.
After working hard, he scraped his butt with a popsicle sign, picked up his pants and returned to the exam room. Qin Guan was not answering the questions either. It was ten days at noon and the weather was a little hot. Qin Guan answered all morning and felt very tired.
After packing up the things, spreading the thin blanket, lying on the pillow, the examination room was narrow, Qin Guan couldn't stretch his legs, so he could only curl up and slowly fell asleep.
In principle, as long as you do not copy or cheat, the inspectors will ignore what the candidates do in the examination room.
I was sleepy and woke up and it was dark. Some candidates had already lit oil lamps and candles, which was about to fight at night.
Qin Guan took out two candlesticks from the carrying box, inserted the candles and lit them. The examination room suddenly became brighter. No matter what else, I would eat first.
Qin Guan rang the bell again, ordered a pot of boiling water from the yamen runners, ate the meal prepared by my mother, took a few sips of tea, and felt that it was almost done.
At this time, the sky was already dark and it was very quiet outside, with only the slight crackling sound of the candle burning and the crackling sound of other students writing.
Regardless of the poetry and essay papers, Qin Guan first opened the scripture papers.
There are five questions in total. What is the meaning of the scripture? Simply put, it is to use the Chinese sentences of the scriptures as the title, and the examinee writes the essay to explain its meaning. If you can clearly write it, the eight-legged essay that will be achieved in later generations is derived from the meaning of the scriptures, and the meaning of the scriptures can be said to be its predecessor.
Open the first question of the test paper, "Happiness, anger, sorrow, and happiness are not called the middle."
Qin Guan really has an impression of this sentence, it seems to be from "The Doctrine of the Mean".
The left thumb flew up, and the answer came out in less than three seconds.
It is indeed a sentence from the Doctrine of the Mean. The original text is "Happiness, anger, sorrow, and happiness are called middle, but they are all middle and regular, which is called harmony; Zhong is the foundation of the world; harmonious is the way of the world. To achieve harmony, heaven and earth are in place, and all things are nurtured."
It means that there is joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in the heart but not express it, and it is called Zhong; it can be controlled by it, and it is called Harmony. Zhong is the basis of stabilizing the world; Harmony is the way to deal with people."
There are many answers to the meaning of this question, four or five.
Haha, who else, who is so generous to us, eat one and lose two, and there is still some leftovers.
After choosing an answer from a certain Huiyuan of the Song Dynasty, Qin Guan picked up his pen and started answering the questions.
"Expose the virtue of nature in it, and then the feelings that have not yet come true. Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and emotions are possessed by nature..."
More than half an hour passed, and a piece of scripture was completed, with more than 400 words, and it was so refreshing.
After resting for ten minutes, continue to answer the questions. The second question is, "The Master said: "The old man is at ease, the friend believes it, and the younger man is in love with it."
There are answers to this question, but it was answered from a provincial examination in the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, Qin Guan had no choice in the eight-legged essay model used to answer questions. Anyway, eight-legged essay is also a kind of classic meaning. Regardless of the others, I copied it first.
......
There are also patrols at night, but they are much less frequent than during the day. The night gradually gets deeper and the weather is getting a little cooler. When Qin Guan finished answering the fourth question, he stopped writing.
Looking at the time, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and he was indeed a little tired.
There is still the last question left, and the rest is poetry and essays. It can be said that Qin Guan has completed 80% of the test questions. He looked out and saw that there were still many candidates outside with lights on the test room.
In the three-year competition, no one dares to slack off. It can be said that everyone is trying their best.
If you pass, then glory will be added!
If you lose, you will waste another three years, and perhaps you will have no hope of officialdom in this life.
Qin Guan took a sip of tea. He had such good conditions, so why did he not work hard? It seems that the answer to the fifth question of the Sutra is.
But after reading this question, Qin Guan frowned.
He didn't expect that the mobile app would give such a result.
The title of the fifth question is: "The ambition is at its peak, and the energy is at its peak. Keeping the ambition is not at its peak," comes from the article "Mencius Gongsun Chou".
The general meaning is "Ambition is the commander of qi; qi fills the whole body of the human body. Wherever the ambition is facing, qi will follow. Therefore, it is said: "To be unmoved, you must stick to this ambition and do not disturb qi!"
If you think it is the secret to qi cultivation in the novel of cultivating immortals, it is not. It should be understood that a person's mind and will directly affect a person's integrity, and a integrity is something that supports a body. Therefore, a person's mind and a integrity are the most important, and a integrity is behind the mind. Therefore, it is said that as long as you master a person's mind and a integrity will not cause any problems.
Isn't it very philosophical?
In fact, most ancient Confucian classics can be classified into the category of philosophy.
Nothing wrong.
All of the above are not the key points, but the key points are on the answers on Qin Guan’s mobile phone.
Qin Guan only had one answer on this question on his mobile phone, but this answer was actually a question from the collection of the imperial examinations of the Great Zhao State that Qin Guan brought back this time.
A test question that appeared before appeared in the Jiangnan Provincial Examination Paper today.
The question now is how Qin Guan should answer it.
It would be a bit difficult for him to answer it himself. If he could write a vernacular article and write a classic of ancient Chinese, he really didn't have that level now.
Qin Guan frowned.
He thought of other questions again.
In fact, this is not the worst result. At least there is another answer that is not. If there is no answer, then he can only catch it blindly.
At this moment, Qin Guan's sense of crisis about the imperial examination became heavier.
Even if I can pass the provincial examination this time, according to the system rules, the main task afterwards is 80% of the master examination and palace examination, how should I pass it?
Mobile phones are not omnipotent, and sometimes they are not allowed to plagiarize themselves. For example, the palace examination is in the main hall, with more than a hundred candidates, but there are more than a dozen prisoners, and they are under the emperor's nose. How should they cheat?
